Twenty-

twenty-one hundred survivors.

Ifyou want to call them survivors.

That? A finejob.

I hate to drop this on you,

but, uh, Chris, we're taking you out.

We're sending you into louisville.

Louisville?

Now we don't want to hit the panic button,

Chris, but we have reports of symptoms.

We've always considered the possibility of trixie

being carried out before you got your lines up.

We doubt it,

fian/qv, cyir/s, but, uh,

we wan tyou in there to check the

situation 0 ver just in case.

If it does break out,

you'll be much better prepared, Chris.

You, uh- you have

one under your belt now.

Yes, sir. You 're the only

one to send in there.

The state police have blocked the

roads and closed the airports.

You're doing a greatjob.

Hang in there.

You've got transport arranged.

You'll have to go through the

medical before you leave the area.

We don't want you

carrying trixie out.

No, sir.

Put your hands on your head,

colonel, please.

Breathe through your mouth.

Colonel peclem, sir,

we can sign you out.

Hear anything from Dietrich? The j/re

sending in a new man fi"0n7 tr/x/e.

He should be here tomorrow.

If we only knew what

watts was working on.

Our boys have checked the slides he left in his

microscope, but we can't make heads nor tails out of it.

He was onto something. We 'll

dope it out... sooner or later.

Sooner or later.

Understand they found

a rhesus monkey at Dietrich- immune.

Sooner or later, we'll find a human.

Sooner or later.

- Want an immunity check on this one,

doctor? - Are you kidding me, soldier?

I see no way out ofthis.

There's never been-

there's never been a trixie before.

In admission, there's nothing about it.

And I'm concerned- damn concerned. I don't

know what you have- how you feel about it.

I simply said repeatedb/- accusations

and blame are not gonna help anything.

Heaven, help us

firelight, won't you let me be

I feel so helpless

how can I find the morning

daytime heroes

save me a piece of sunshine sky

a safer place where I

can get up and find the morning

iftime is a healer,/

then why are we wounded

and why are those people dying

Jand I get so weary

in moments of sadness

I can't even hear people crying

but I know they do

marching soldier

fighting behind a losing cause

a better war is yours

lf you can find

the morning

heaven help us

heaven help us
